I did work in a strip club, but I didn't strip. I danced, and I became very popular.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I did everything, I used to be a drag queen, I used to be a stripper.
Actually, I used to be a busboy in a strip joint in New York and so I hate strip joints. I'm not that kind of person.
I was a clubber in the Nineties. I went dancing every week.
I worked nightclubs all through my 20s, and I was a teetotaler.
When I first moved to New York, I wanted to be a dancer. I danced professionally for years, living a hand-to-mouth existence. I never tapped into nightlife; all I knew was dancers. We went to bed early and got up early and went to free concerts at the Lincoln Center and Shakespeare in the Park.
When I started in the clubs, I had to work places where didn't nobody else want to work. I had to do clubs where street gangs were, had to do motorcycle gangs, gay balls and things of that nature.
People expect me to be with some stripper... That's just the kind of woman I work with.
The only dancing I did was at the discotheques. I was a very good disco dancer. I say that I learned disco dancing at the wrong places.
I had a band with a girl in New York, and we would go around and do gigs. And then I happened to start getting work as an actress.
I worked as a singing, dancing busgirl in high school.
